In the talk of ag when people complain? Well there is issues.

Let’s take the monoculture or any of those things? That doesn’t irritate me as much as when I see the fields that run the fertilizer to the ditch that’s quite some distance. The ground then seeps that under the road and covers a neighboring property with high growth plants from fertilizer. It’s guaranteed runoff. This is 1 mile from where I live. Not like I don’t see it every time I drive down the road.

These things are not ok, we should be as a people saying this is unacceptable for the nitrates in ground water increasing to the eutrophication of water bodies nearby. The further knock on effects are known.

We should be solving these problems before we complain about other things. If we can’t drink the water safely is more important than worrying about ethanol production or what land is used for. Let’s fix the land use itself.
